[PATCH v3 1/1] KVM: x86: Introduce has_protected_pmu state for TDX VMs

[Vishal Annapurve]

PMU state for TDX VMs is virtualized by TDX Module [1]. Host has following
toggles to control the PMU functionality exposed to TDX VMs:
1) Configure TD_PARAMS to allow guests to use performance monitoring.
2) Restrict the TD to a subset of the PEBS counters if supported.
3) Limit the TD to setup a certain perfmon events using basic/enhanced
   event filtering.

KVM will need to be enlightened to support these toggles. Introduce
has_protected_pmu state to track the pmu state for such scenarios
and explicitly set the has_protected_pmu flag for TDX VMs.

If pmu state is protected:
1) Disable KVM's PMU virtualization framework as additional
enlightenment is needed within KVM to control/manage the
visibility of PMU state to such VMs.
2) Disallow userspace VMM from toggling PMU virtualization state
using KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY.
